The award-winning Flabbergast Theatre bring a rambunctious yet respectful approach to Shakespeare’s much-loved comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Goblins and Sprites run amok as the King and Queen of the Faeries settle a spat causing havoc among the humans caught up in their machinations.
The action focuses on a troupe of players travelling with their beautiful vintage Haywain frantically multi-role-ing and bringing the world to life with joy and excitement.
Arcadian folk songs, slapstick comedy, and mask work combine with a respectful approach to the text, an irreverent attitude and a focus on storytelling to bring the magic of midsummer alive with physical comedy, song, and dance.
Accompanying workshops available in Mask work, Shakespeare text delivery, Puppetry, Clowning (bouffon), Ensemble, Physical Theatre, Percussion, Stage Combat and more, as well as Q&As and talks... ideal for GCSE, A-Level and University English & Drama groups!
